“…Establishing the prevalence of different types of tooth surface loss, attrition was the most prevalent with 49.7%, followed by abrasion (48.3%), erosion (1%) and abfraction (0.97%). This is in concordance with a study conducted by Mithra 2018, that revealed attrition in 29% out of 40.6% tooth wear patients, followed by abrasion in 23.7%, erosion in 4.6% and abfraction in 6.3% 29 . There are scarce studies that discuss the prevalence of type of tooth wear and it is important to analyse the prevalence of tooth wear due to the increasing population and modern lifestyle.…”

“…In relation to the occurrence of tooth surface loss among different age group, maximum occurrence of tooth surface loss was seen in the age group between 41-60 years of age with 57%, followed by 21 to 40 years of age (22%), 61 to 81 years of age (20%), 7 to 20 years of age (0.6%) and least tooth surface loss prevalence was seen in age group greater than 81 years (0.4%). This result was in concordance with a study done by Mithra 2018, who reported that tooth wear was more prevalent in the age group of 40 to 60 years of age 29 . Vant 2009 reported an increase in prevalence of tooth wear from 3% at the age of 20 years to 17% at the age of 70 years 34 .…”

“…Tooth surface loss was higher in incidence, especially in males (67.7%) than females (32.3%). This is in concordance with the study done by Mithra 2018, that stated that male population showed higher tooth wear compared to the female population 29 . The study conducted by Joana 2010 also supported our study stating that high prevalence of tooth wear observed among males 30 .…”

Regressive changes of the teeth include a variety of alterations in the dental tissues, mechanical tear and wear of tooth is a consequence of both pathological and physiological means. Tooth surface loss can be classified primarily as attrition, abrasion, abfraction and erosion. To assess the prevalence of attrition, abrasion, erosion and abfraction among patients visiting private college hospital in Chennai. Data of the patients retrieved was from the dental records of the hospital. Patients with attrition, abrasion, erosion and abfraction were shortlisted. Total study sample, n=7300 patients. Data was tabulated in excel and statistically analysed. From the statistical analysis, it was significant that the most prevalent type of tooth wear was attrition(49.7%), followed by abrasion(48.3%), erosion(1%) and abfraction(0.97%) (chi square test-p-value= 0.000-significant). Within the limitations of this study, it showed that there was a significant prevalence of attrition followed by abrasion, erosion and abfraction with a male predilection, predominantly between the age group of 41-60 years, reported to private college hospital in Chennai.

“…Most of the studies are based on dentistry point of view. These studies evaluate gross dental attrition from pathological and epidemiological aspect (Hegde et al 2018;Praveena et al 2018;Yoithapprabhunath et al 2018) which is applicable to clinical and community dentistry.…”

Role of Human Tooth Wear Analysis in Archaeology: A Review

The path of human evolution has always been a topic of contentious discussion for researchers worldwide. Many theories were proposed to explain the phenomenon based on meagre physical evidences available. Interpretations about subsistence strategies of hominins and their descendents had to be derived from scanty biological remains which mostly consisted of random presence of teeth and fragments of cranial and post-cranial skeleton. Due to better preservation and good resistance to diagenesis, owing to tough enamel covering, teeth have been exploited the most in archaeological studies. Tooth wear analysis is a powerful tool to understand the diet and life processes of ancient people. This paper reviews technical and interpretative development in the use of tooth wear analysis as powerful means to assess changes in masticatory and non-masticatory use of teeth in the process of human evolution. Apart from determination of type and form of diet consumed, tooth wear analysis has been used to estimate masticatory load and its relation to cranio-facial development, age of weaning, use of teeth as a 'third hand'. Though this method is widely adopted by researchers all over the globe, in the Indian archaeological context, such studies are few and far between. The potential of tooth wear analysis in Indian archaeological arena needs to be tapped for better understanding of ancient humans.
